Payroll-ready numbers for commission, booth rent, and tips — less spreadsheet pain.
Pull the activity payroll needs directly from your day-to-day operations. Hours, completed services, commissions, and tips stay connected, so your team’s pay starts with cleaner, more reliable information instead of another spreadsheet.
Different staff members can earn in different ways. Keep hourly, commission-based, and hybrid pay structures organized together, giving owners a clearer view of what each team member earned during the pay period.
Stop chasing tip totals across receipts, notes, and spreadsheets. Tips recorded during checkout can be attributed to the right staff member, making payroll preparation easier and reducing the manual work behind every pay period.
Payroll problems often start before payroll day. Cleaner records make it easier to spot missing hours, incorrect commissions, or mismatched earnings before they turn into questions, corrections, or uncomfortable conversations with your team.
Get a clearer picture of staff earnings before sending payroll to your provider. PandaCue brings the numbers together so you can review pay information with confidence instead of rebuilding it every pay period.
You can, but it gets risky fast once commission, tips, and hourly staff are mixed together. One missed tip or wrong commission tier is usually all it takes to cause a pay dispute.
You can build a spreadsheet for it, but someone has to manually pull hours, commission, and tips into it every pay period. PandaCue pulls that data automatically from completed tickets, so nothing gets re-typed.
The best option is one that understands commission and tips, not just hourly pay. General payroll tools handle wages fine but don't know what a service ticket or a retail commission is. PandaCue is built around that difference.
PandaCue does. Scheduling, POS, and payroll run on the same system, so a completed appointment automatically feeds the payroll data behind it instead of living in a separate app.
QuickBooks handles general payroll and accounting well, but it doesn't know your commission structure or tip data unless you enter it manually. PandaCue calculates that part first, then that data is ready to send to your accounting or payroll provider.
The most accurate setup is one where your POS and payroll share the same data. When tips and commissions are calculated at checkout instead of copied in later, there's a lot less room for error.
Yes. Commission rates are set per staff member or role, and PandaCue applies them automatically to services and retail sales based on the actual sale price.
Yes. Hourly, commission, and hybrid pay structures run side by side, since most salons and spas have a mix of all three.
No. PandaCue calculates and organizes payroll data. Your existing payroll provider still runs the actual pay run, tax filings, and direct deposits.
Tips recorded at checkout are attributed to the staff member automatically, so they flow straight into payroll without anyone tracking them in a separate log.
